7th Grade Science introduces the fundamental concepts of scientific inquiry, the structure of matter, chemical reactions, forces, motion, ecosystems, earth science, space, and the interactions between energy and matter. The course will serve students as a laboratory-based introduction to possible future course work in high school, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics while ensuring a mastery of the basics of each discipline. The ultimate goal of the course is to produce scientifically literate citizens capable of using their knowledge of science to solve real-world problems and to make personal, social, and ethical decisions.

Please bring all needed supplies to class. Enter the classroom quietly and sit at your assigned seat. Begin working on the warm-up activity. Participate in all activities and use your time efficiently. When dismissed by the teacher, make sure that you turn in all completed assignments, put away your materials, clean up and throw away any trash, push in your chair, and leave the room in an orderly fashion when dismissed.

Participation

Participation is a necessary part of every lesson. Many of the laboratory investigations, media presentations, and other assignments are very difficult to make up if class is missed. For this reason, it is very important that students are present in class on a daily basis.

Makeup Work/Late Work

All assignments are important and each student is responsible for all work assigned even if the student is absent. Late work will be accepted with 5 pointsdeducted per day after the assignment is due. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all assignment(s) from the teacher before class, after class, or after school.

Supplies/Materials for this class

2 hard composition notebooks (to be kept in the classroom).

2 rolls of paper towels (to be kept in the classroom).

1 box of tissues

1 pack of color pencils

1 pack of markers

4 glue sticks

1 box of latex or non-latex gloves (Large)

Tutoring

Tutoring will be offered, Tuesdays after school. Please check with me in advance to make sure I do not have any meetings that day. In order to attend tutoring, students will need to make arrangements with their parent for pick up.

Homework

The completion of homework is important to further the student’s understanding of the current topic of instruction. Homework will be assigned on the first day of the week and will be due on Thursday of the same week.

Academic Integrity

Scobee Middle School strongly believes in ethical behavior, therefore academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes copying another person’s work, cheating, or turning in someone else’s work as your own. Consequences for committing an act of academic dishonesty will result in a zero for that assignment and parent notification.

Technology Integrity

All students are to comply with SWISD rules and regulations regarding the use of technology as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Science Fair

All students will be required to participate in the Scobee Science Fair. Students and parents will be provided information regarding the science fair.
